Sacred Wisdom Sacred Earth

Our Earth is sacred. She is alive. In restoring a relationship of reciprocity and care with her, we heal ourselves and rewrite our future.

We are honored to be trusted as a host for the Madison Premiere and the first non-native audience to view Sacred Wisdom Sacred Earth, a brand-new documentary by the Loka Initiative, in partnership with Bravebird, UW-Madison's Center for Healthy Minds, and the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council. The documentary unveils the deep connection of Wisconsin’s Native American tribes to the land and waters of the Great Lakes and how that relationship seeds their efforts to restore spiritual, cultural, and environmental resilience.

Sacred Wisdom Sacred Earth will be offered as an Institute on the In-Person Day of the Summit (September 26) at the Monona Terrace in Madison. Attendees will get the opportunity to hear from Director Alejandro Miranda, Executive Producer Dekila Chungyalpa, and Ho-Chunk Elder and Culture Keeper, Janice Rice. Following the screening, featured Culture Keepers Roxanne DeLille, Guy Reiter, and Marin “Mark” Denning will engage in a generative dialogue facilitated by Producer Brian McInnes. The dialogue will support attendees in exploring pathways for solidarity with movements for Indigenous sovereignty, resistance, and resilience, as well as ways to build direct mutual aid with Wisconsin’s tribes.

This screening is a closed event and open only to registrants for the Racial Justice Summit who have tickets that include the in-person day on September 26.
